Blueberry, an indica-dominant hybrid with THC levels between 16% and 24%, is famous for its sweet, fruity aroma and calming effects. This strain offers a beautiful balance between mental relaxation and physical tranquillity, making it a favourite among those seeking serenity and relief. Blueberry honours its esteemed landrace parent strains quite beautifully by inducing this heavenly relaxation.
Onset
Blueberry has been described as a “one hit and quit” strain due to how powerfully and quickly it gets the job done. You will feel an overwhelming sense of relaxation almost immediately, with your body getting so heavy that you might need to sit down. However, if consumed in the right setting, this feels actually pleasant and soothing. Blueberry calms the racing mind so powerfully that it leaves no space for stress and worries. Thanks to the gentle sense of euphoria it provides, it will also make for a great companion to your night with friends. You will be left chatty and giggly but not too productive. It is recommended for those blissful moments in which you can take a break. If relaxation is your main goal, barely any strains can match Blueberry in this department.

Uses
The Blueberry strain’s diverse cannabinoid profile renders it a natural panacea for many ailments. For example, its soothing indica traits and anti-inflammatory caryophyllene make it an excellent choice for pain management, especially for those suffering from chronic pain, muscle pain, and arthritis. In addition, Blueberry’s calming and relaxing effects, bolstered by myrcene, have been described as very potent. As such, this strain can also offer a reprieve from anxiety, stress, PTSD and insomnia, gently lulling users into a restorative slumber.
Moreover, Blueberry’s uplifting attributes can help alleviate symptoms of depression and mood disorders, providing a subtle euphoria to brighten even the darkest days.
Side effects
Common side effects associated with this strain include dry mouth and eyes and minor dizziness. However, as a high-THC flower, Blueberry may still induce anxiety or paranoia in sensitive users. Therefore, beginners and those sensitive to THC should start with a small amount and gradually increase it as needed.
Given its relaxing properties, Blueberry is best consumed during the evening or when you have ample time to unwind and relax.
Taste & Smell
Vanilla
Berry
Pine
EarthyThe Blueberry strain offers a sensory experience that is both vivid and nuanced. As soon as you smell the delightful blueberry aroma combined with piney and earthy undertones, you will feel like you are in a forest picking fresh berries for yourself.
The taste is equally enticing – and brings to mind overripe, lovely berries with a hint of vanilla. Smoking this strain feels like eating a delicious blueberry muffin, so any fan of fruity flavours will not be disappointed. The colours of the flower top up the experience – you should notice the hints of red and purple if you expose the plant to lower temperatures in the growing process. Lastly, its transparent resinous trichomes are rather unusual – but they make Blueberry extra sticky.
Origins
Blueberry emerged in the 1970s as the brainchild of the legendary cannabis cultivator, DJ Short, dubbed as Willy Wonka of Pot. This exquisite breed results from diligent crossbreeding between the exotic landrace strains of Thai, Purple Thai, and Afghani Indica. Blueberry has earned its place as a classic in the cannabis world, winning the High Times Cannabis Cup in 2000 for Best Indica.
Growing conditions
Growing your Blueberry should be easy enough as long as you keep a few things in mind. This plant is one of the rare cannabis strains that prefers growing outdoors. It thrives in sunny, warm climates but will also withstand lower temperatures thanks to its Afghani parentage. Blueberry needs some maintenance as you will have to supplement the soil with minerals and trim it regularly to prevent mildew infections. However, if you are willing to put in a bit of effort, within 7-9 weeks, you will be rewarded with astonishing yields of around 500 grams per square metre indoors and up to 700 grams per plant outdoors.
